And the next DNC Chairman could be....

Howard Dean?!?

Of course this is speculation and hearsay at this point in time

I give Dean credit for a grass roots mobilization like no one has seen in decades of Presidential primary politics. However, this is the same Howard Dean that was summarily defeated for being "unelectable" in primary battle after primary battle with John Kerry.

He would definitely continue to mobilize the staunch liberal Democrat troops but quite possibly at the cost of alienating the more centrist Democrats that could swing an election one way or the other.

Perhaps the Democratic party hasn't learned any lessons from the 2004 Election. Only time will tell really but this would probably not be the best of starts to capturing the overwhelming majority of moderate thinkers in America.
